With cultural diversity his primary passion, Australian DJ/producer 'bP' (Brendan Palmer) has been representing the musically 'not so represented' for nearing two decades. He has wandered the world gathering sounds and has performed in places as diverse as Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, London, Tijuana, Mexico city and Helsinki to name a few... In 2004 he launched Uber Lingua and his sonic activity has grown exponentially playing literally hundreds of gigs and promoting culturally charged music in most capital cities of Australia. bP's sets traverse language, culture, genre, history and social scenes; deliberately defiant of mainstream music fashions, he presents an intersection of underground and outernational sounds that capture his imagination. Roots to Futurism, East to West, Minimal to Maximal are all sonic stops on bP's translingual express. Brendan additionally works as a producer at the legendary Melbourne radio station Triple R during the day and presents the weekly 'Dialectic' radio program on the web and nationally on the Community Radio Network satellite.

is a Melbourne-based percussionist, who originates
from the lush coastal state of Kerala in Southern India. Coming from a
musical family (his sister plays the violin and veena and his father plays
the sitar), he began learning the tabla from the age of nine and later
studied under the renowned guru, Ustad Narayan, for 8 years. In his late
teens, Prem got into western styles of music, such as jazz, hip hop, and
house, and his mind began to wander around the application of his skills
in carnatic music (South Indian classical music) to contemporary sounds,
and consequently, got involved, in the local pop music industry in Kerala,
as a session musician and composer. Prem moved to Melbourne in 2005, and
motivated by the desire to jam with electronic artists and DJs, migrated
to the surreal Roland Handsonic electronic tabla, designed for ethnic percussionists.
